Terje Kalheim

Terje Kalheim (born 21 September 1952) is a Norwegian trade unionist and politician for the Socialist Left and Labour parties.

He grew up in Bøler, Oslo as a son of trade unionist Ragnar Kalheim. Terje Kalheim attended Sogn Vocational School and became a carpenter, eventually being hired in Oslo Sporveier. Here, he became the leader of the trade union.[1] Kalheim was also deputy leader of the organization against Norwegian EU membership, Nei til EF, until 1991.[2]

In 1991 he became City Commissioner (byråd) of Culture in the city government of Oslo, sitting until 1995 when he was not re-nominated for the 1995 Norwegian local elections.[1] The reason was his change of heart in the EU membership question, relinquishing his opposition .[3] In 1996 Kalheim and fellow former city commissioner Raymond Johansen both left the Socialist Left Party and joined the Labour Party.[4][5] Kalheim was employed by the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions.[1]
